We’re thrilled to announce that once a year, Allegory Ridge will publish a book of short stories in a fiction anthology called Archipelago.

We are especially hoping to feature writers from the LGBTQ+ community.

This year, our debut anthology will feature 18 pieces of fiction. The stories selected will be professionally edited by our team and compiled into an expertly designed book that will be highly promoted on our website and social media channels. It will likely be carried by our stockists across four states in the Western United States.

We will consider any genre, as long as the piece is fiction. Minimum word count is 1,000 words, maximum word count is 5,000 words.

Simultaneous submissions are accepted, please just let us know if your story is offered publication elsewhere.

Every entry will receive personalized feedback on their story from our editorial team and a paperback copy of the anthology.

The 18 writers who are selected for publication will receive a hardback copy of the anthology and an Allegory Ridge tote bag. Those who are selected will not be paid for their work, but they will retain all rights to their story.
